Can anyone who saw the off-Bway production tell me how they staged the opening number in this show? There is a lot of exposition and several different locations-- how did they handle this?
Thanks

Posted: 12/7/04 at 10:08amin the opening of the show - the main character (Percy,played marvelously by Garrett Long) was standing at the uppermost platform of the set when she began singing, and at some point made her way down onto the stage level and then the song went on from there - moving through the various locations with lighting changes and set level changes. It was staged beautifully and it is really a thrilling show.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"

Posted: 12/7/04 at 1:57pmredhot, you know garrett long? I met her at an audition and she's a sweetheart. She worked at wichita with my best friend and he had nothing but great things to say about her! I love the spitfire grill too - beautiful music/lyrics and wonderful movie as well. I am dying to see it on stage.
But I won't live alone in a house of regret.

That's great. I too love her on recording - her voice is similar to someone more well-known, but I can't put my finger on who...It's surprises me that she hasn't done much in NY since then.
Redhot - are you still performing?
